    Are you wondering how I use effects pedals on the harp? I made a video explaining this! ua-cam.com/video/Y5253VL9MXk/v-deo.html

      Honestly no. I'm a synth player. Going to check it out anyway.
      When I saw the your harp/distortion video on my recommendations my reaction was "WTF?". Clicked mostly out of curiosity. I was absolutely stunned by the gorgeous soundscapes you created with that pedal. My brain kept wanting to toss in a drum beat, or a droning synth line.
      I also have the Miku stomp. My goal is to use it in a musically useful context. Hopefully soon I will pair it up with my Dreadbox Hypnosis and it's gorgeous real spring reverb.

    I saw a demo of Miku from Andertons Music in hospital and couldn't come by laughing. When I was "released" I crossed the street to order it at our local music shop. I understand it contains samples of the actual voice of a popular hologram popstar, who of course has the voice of a real singer (female). It works a lot better with single string playing on a guitar and tracks also bending and vibrato. So I played and send "Happy Birthday" to a Japanese friend ... no idea what phrases actually came out, hahaha ! (I am sure no rude words will be put in a Japanese pedal) Now I will try it with an e-violin ... ;-)

    I keep talking myself out of getting this pedal, but I do have the Gakken NSX-39 "Pocket Miku", which is the same chip but in a Stylophone. Tapping out little songs with the stylus on the conductive "keyboard" is a lot of fun.

    I have seen this pedal before but I especially liked the near riot you created experimenting with it. Your joy was obvious and infectious. Have you ever heard of “That Pedal Show”? It’s oriented to pedal use with guitars but it is extremely well done. It provides a wide range of pedal demonstration. They present a deep knowledge into pedal use and the principles behind their design and development. It’s by far the “primo” channel on effects pedals. They work with pedal designers but don’t accept fees or anything to promote any of the devices or other other sound equipment that they use. Dan, one of the two presenters, (Mick is the other) has invented a pedal switching/controlling device that many well known professional musicians employ and he personally sets up many of their pedalboard systems. It’s also a fun show and they provide a highlighted list of the various points of interest in each each show so you can easily switch to whatever part of the show that interests you. They thoroughly investigate various types of pedals that they use and have a wealth of past videos listed by the subjects covered. I’ve turned to them repeatedly to guide me in developing various pedalboards. One valuable issue they always cover is the placement of the various pedals and how the order effects the sounds produced. Another nice feature is by using Dan’s system they can immediately switch the placement/order of the pedals into any set up desired. Very low key channel but jam packed with up to date information. I highly recommend you check it out on UA-cam @ thatpedalshow.com

    • @emilyharpist
      @emilyharpist  4 роки тому +6

      My harp is actually electroacoustic - there's three pickups in it, and they all combine into one 1/4" output, like a guitar! So i can run pedals into it from there into an amp, or audio interface

      @misanthropicgestures 4 роки тому

      @@emilyharpist Thanks Emily!! ^.^ that is so cool!! I obviously don't encourage this as it would be a deep reworking of an instrument, but you've got me dreaming of the same set up with different octave 'zones' (not musically educated) per 1/4 out, such that you could modify the three 'channels' with separate pedals. I suppose a looper is the practical way to do that, but I like circuit bending so that is where my mind went. :p Keep up the great work, Harpist extraordinaire! I love the experimentation :3

    • @emilyharpist
      @emilyharpist  4 роки тому +3

      @@misanthropicgestures No that's EXACTLY how my harp works!!! I should really make a video soon about it all. There are three pickups, but FOUR 1/4" lines out - one for each pickup if i want to send three of the "zones" somewhere different, and the fourth one is a blend of all three - I typically use the single channel out (that fourth one i mentioned) for my videos/pedal demos, but I'm long overdue to start experimenting with it. I've spent the last six months of so getting a handle on how the harp really reacts to a lot of different pedals and I hope I can take that jump to multiple FX chains out of the harp soon!

      Do you think if you filled the hollow of a harp with a heavy gas, because of the percussion element of the instrument, it would affect tone like with this viola? I wonder if it would impact the pick ups themselves...I'm not finding a lot on this. Please don't up and fill the cavity of your instrument with street gases.

    • @TheVergile
      @TheVergile 4 роки тому +1

      @@emilyharpist actually the 4th output is not the blended sound of the string pickups, but the additional soundboard pickup.
      Every string has a piezo under it, which - as you said - are separated into three regions and grouped together. but there is one additional (traditional) soundboard pickup that gives a more typical harp sound, since it also captures some of the body resonances.
      Im sure you know - just clarifying for potential future readers.

    Or with an instrument, follow up with a reverb pedal for some sustain. That may have the tail end of each note drop off not fall off entirely. That might actually let you go from note to note and not feel so clunky. What a weird pedal.
